    On 18323 and Toolkit 9.1, selecting the Remove menu goes directly to the Customize menu. How can I remove stuff?

    Is there any other way to remove components prior to installing? NTLite?

    Tools for removing Windows components are far from abundant. I know of ntlite (which I haven't tried) and MSMG Toolkit. Just be happy it's possible at all. The tools do some registry tweaking to make these components available to remove so it's not something trivial to do manually.

    It was actually much easier to manually remove components in previous versions, but they changed the component store in recent versions and it's more involved now. I've been hacking on the Windows registry since win95 and I wouldn't mess with it myself.

    @MSMG I really really hate to ask, but do you forsee the potential for a version release within the next 5 or so days that takes care of most sfc errors and allows dism (for 1809 LTSB)?

    If not, or if you can release a partially updated version, could you make a quick note (again sorry!) on what I should not touch so I can retain sfc and dism repair functionality in the image. I don't like asking anything to slow you down.
    I'd much rather donate "to the cause", so you might be able to upgrade your hardware to speed up your build environment, etc.

    PS, the HP EX920 NVMe SSD is only $150-160 for 1TB and is really the best bang for the buck. It does save a LOT of time with certain tasks over a regular SSD, although I imagine the CPU is the biggest bottleneck for you.

    Yeah, I need to do a second deployment also soon..... but then if its not ready................ then its not... Though it'd be nice to see the main issues fixed, just the main ones.

    We could somehow put together a joined donation for the ssd.

    I'm on a pension, but this tool is invaluable. I'd be willing to pitch in, even if it's not a lot. Personally, I would hope more people would also be willing to pitch in too. The better system @MSMG has benefits us all.

    Though, if it's for MSMG to do his testing, I do think a disk with higher rated write endurance is better. You'd want enough space to house multiple virtual machines, and a fast processor to get the installation done fast. By enough space, 256-512 would usually do. 1TB is somewhat excessive for this purpose.

    I still think in his case, 512GB max is enough, there's enough TBW for many rounds of testing. Reason is, in future, as ssd's get even more developed, price will drop more and so will endurance and performance.. like pcie 4.0, etc etc.

    You won't stick with the same ssd forever..

    Do we know what motherboard @MSMG has? Does he have an m.2 connector?

    Probably should ask MSMG what he needs, but if he does need better hardware I'd be willing to pitch in. I think his tool fills a sorely empty void for things helpful in Windows deployment, I sure appreciate it. Really MS should provide the ability to deselect these packages out of the box, but they won't give it up.

    I downloaded the Windows 8.1 ADK, I would like to change to the 8.1 DISM in MSMG the way you can in abbodi's W81UI program. Is there anyway to do that?

    Just collect donations for him to build or upgrade his current motherboard to support m.2 NVME ssd and a m.2 NVME ssd drive. The amount of people using it can contribute like $1-$5 which is enough to get him going.
